Are they bending when extended or retracted? Check on the mechanism to make sure you aren't getting something nearly on center when open. If you go there, loads go out of sight high, and you can bend things when you try to move it back the other way.

They bend when bringing the top down. They bend to the back of the trailer.
The trailer weighs in at 1200lbs. sq tube truss construction covered in aluminum sheeting. suspect from the size of the top it weighs in at a good 600lbs+.
